Google My Business Setup & Optimization – Get Found on Google

Get your business on Google Maps and local search results before your competitors.

We do complete Google Business Profile setup with accurate information, photos, and optimization.

So you start appearing when customers search for businesses like yours in your area.

Why Your Business MUST Be On Google My Business

When someone searches “salon near me” or “plumber in Westlands,” where do you think Google shows results?

At the very top – before websites, before ads – Google shows the Local Map Pack.

That’s Google My Business (now called Google Business Profile).

And if you’re not there, you’re invisible to customers searching for businesses like yours RIGHT NOW in your area.

Google my Business Profile Kenya- The Brutal Truth:

Not on Google Maps = Not in local search results
No Google Business Profile = Customers can’t find your phone number, hours, or location easily
Poor optimization = Your competitors show up first
No reviews visible = Customers don’t trust you

✅ Optimized Google Business Profile = Show up in the Map Pack above all websites
✅ Complete information = Customers can call, get directions, see hours instantly
✅ Active management = Outrank competitors in your exact location
✅ Positive reviews displayed = Build instant trust and credibility

What Google My Business Does For Your Business:

1. Instant Local Visibility

Appear on Google Maps when customers search for your services nearby. This is FREE real estate at the top of search results.

2. Direct Customer Actions

Customers can call, get directions, visit your website, or message you directly from your Google listing – without clicking through to your website.

3. Social Proof Display

Your star rating and reviews show up prominently, building trust before customers even contact you.

4. Customer Insights

See how customers find you, what they search for, how many people call, request directions, or visit your website.

5. Mobile-First Discovery

Most local searches happen on mobile. Google My Business is optimized for customers on the go who want immediate answers.

6. AI & Voice Search Ready

When people use Google Assistant, Siri, or ask ChatGPT for local recommendations, Google Business Profile data is what gets recommended.

Why Professional Management Matters

Your Google Business Profile isn’t “set and forget.” Google’s algorithm rewards active, engaging profiles with higher rankings.

• Businesses that post weekly rank 50% higher than inactive profiles.
• Businesses that respond to reviews rank higher than those who ignore them.
• Fresh photos increase customer actions by 35%.

That’s why our Premium Management package exists – to keep your profile active, optimized, and outranking competitors every single week.

 

The Cost of NOT Being on Google My Business

Think about this:

– How many customers searched for businesses like yours in your area TODAY?
– How many found your competitors instead because you’re not on Google Maps?
– How much revenue walked past your business because customers couldn’t find your hours or phone number easily?

Every day without an optimized Google Business Profile is money left on the table.

For Kshs. 3,000–15,000, you can start appearing in the most valuable real estate in all of local search – the Google Map Pack.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I already have a Google My Business listing. Can you still help?
A: Absolutely! Most existing listings are poorly optimized. We’ll audit your current listing and optimize it for maximum visibility. Choose Professional or Premium packages for existing listings.

Q: How long does verification take?
A: Google typically verifies businesses within 5-7 days via postcard, phone, or email. We handle the entire process for you.

Q: Will this help me show up in “near me” searches?
A: Yes! That’s exactly what Google My Business does. When people search “[your service] near me,” you’ll appear in the Map Pack if your profile is optimized.

Q: What if I serve customers at their location (mobile service)?
A: Perfect! We’ll set up your service area properly so you appear in searches across all areas you serve, not just one address.

Q: Can I manage it myself after setup?
A: Yes! With Basic and Professional packages, we set everything up and give you login credentials. With Premium, we manage it for 3 months then hand over with full documentation.

Q: Do I need a website?
A: No! Google My Business works even without a website. But if you have one, we’ll connect it for maximum impact.

Q: What if I get a negative review?

A: With Premium Management, we monitor and respond professionally to all reviews, including negative ones. We also provide guidance on reputation management. With Basic/Professional, we give you templates for handling reviews.

Q: How many photos should I provide?
A: The more the better! Minimum 5 for Basic, 15+ for Professional. Include exterior, interior, products, team, work in progress. We’ll guide you on what works best.

Q: Can you help with multiple locations?
A: Yes! Contact us for multi-location pricing. We can manage chains, franchises, or businesses with multiple branches.

Q: What’s the difference between Google My Business and Google Business Profile?
A: Same thing! Google renamed it to “Google Business Profile” but most people still call it Google My Business or GMB.
